This is fascinating stuff. So far we've seen two cars and a train and some bicycles.
Weird.

Only two in the series. Pity they could easily have made a dozen. Seems to be a brisk trade in little red badges.

John Sweeney's book on DPRK that he wrote after his undercover trip with the LSE for Panorama is fascinating and a real account of the place, his conversations with defectors do show that the control of information that has been exercised for generations is slipping and more people are realising that things are not right.
Hence Little Rocket Man's change in stance
i would love too visit as it is now

It's on C5 now, and as with all of Michael Palin's travel shows it is bloody marvellous.

It was a good viewing, quite a good insight and you can imagine the difference between the haves and have nots.

Read a review of episode one and apparently Palin, whilst standing in front of a propaganda poster had his hands in his pockets. Almost got him a 5 to 10 stretch courtesy of one of the six heavies that have been following every step and every breath.
Even the places visited are chosen by the authorities. He still makes a fantastic job of the whole thing though .

Even the bits he did to camera in his hotel room were whispered!. Can't be too careful I imagine. |

Can't be too careful I imagine. Don't know if you ever saw the post I did a while ago about when I was in a Hotel in Nanjing, China. Got to room, was mega tired so crashed on the bed, then within just a few seconds of lying down reception called me and told me to remove my shoes...100% true that is. |

Not a lot you can say to that. I'd probably end up sleeping in the bath fully clothed with the sink tap running. Bizarre. |

Just saw part one on catch up today. Tonight's episode being recorded. It's a very strange place isn't it. Hardly any cars, no advertising, clothes are ermm….dated somewhat.
No internet, no mobile phones according to Palin. Do the majority of them have any idea what life is like outside. Although they did seem happy when they were partying in the park.

This is just as good. Still walking on eggshells with the brainwashed. |

I thought the traffic (what traffic) police girls/women in part one were amazing with their robotic movements and the way they marched.
